Review: The Urban Cafe Yogilicious

We have so many eateries opening up in the past decade. Lahore is known to be the hub of food lovers. Lahorities spend on food generously more than anything else. One of our favourite places in town is The Urban Café Yogilicious. Comparatively newly opened but it has become one of the top spots. 

  Things we love about Yogilicious:

The interior of the café is nicely done. The space is well balanced with paintings, textured walls and posters. The comfy and funky seating also adds to the experience :)

The Food Experience

Coming back to the food experience its always fresh and well cooked. Its more like an open kitchen where everything is done in front of your eyes. We love their pastas, Panini’s and drinks but something which is not to be missed is their desserts. 

Yogilicious is undoubtedly a heaven for people who love desserts. Our favourites from their dessert menu are

Hasnain Lehri as the face of Leading Menswear Eid Collections

In our fashion industry its not easier for male models to survive for long. Hasnain Lehri is one name who has been making waves in the fashion industry for a while now. He is the face of every big campaign. Its not just his good looks but his hard work and passion which is depicted in his every work. No wonder he is handsome and his good looks are adorned by everyone. He looks like a handsome Arab but we are proud he is a Pakistani.

This time for the Eid Collections Hasnain is the face of most of the leading menswear designers. From a popular brand like Gul Ahmed to a very niche brand Republic by Omar Farooq he has become everyone's favourite model. Let's have a look at some of the best shots from the Eid Campaigns done by Hasnain Lehri:

Republic by Omar Farooq

The fact that Hasnain has been experimented with the looks in one shoot is quite amazing. The Eid Collection of Republic by Omar Farooq fetaures Hasnain Lehri in a variety of looks.
The best shot from the shoot is the one below :

Brilliant styling and great angles by photographer. Hasnain looks his best keeping it very natural.

Hasnain looks equally amazing in every picture. This is another image from the shoot for Republic by Omar Farooq.

The Twist

Turning from a traditional took to slightly more experimental Hasnian pulls off yet another look with so much poise.

Nomi Ansari's Eid Collection

Nomi uses colours like no one else and certainly for his Eid Collection Hasnain is the face of the campaign. We equally love the Kurta and Hasnain Lehri looks amazing in this picture.

Ideas by Gul Ahmed

For Ideas by Gul Ahmed Hasnain is seen ever sophisticated giving an "awami" brand exclusivity by his good looks and standing out from the crowd.

Ismail Farid

One of the leading name in menswear Ismail Farid also have Hasnain Lehri for their Eid Collection Shoot this time. Hasnain seems to be the perfect choice for the brand gracing with his royal looks and adding a charm.

We absoultely adore Hasnain Lehri for becoming a face of all these Eid Campaigns. 

Trends

White on White

White remains a favourite colour for this season. More and more brands are using white in their collections this time of the year and for Eid Collections. 

Beat the heat staying fashionable and chic this summer. We have got some options for you from Kayseria, BeechTree and Generation :)

Yellow remains our favourite colour this season. Have a look how different brands are using yellow this season.

Blue and white get along well with each other. You can either wear white on blue or blue on white. We absolutely love the waistcoats bringing back the royalty!

Mehreen Syed the best Pakistani model to follow on Social Media Accounts

The stunning top Pakistani model who has been ruling the ramp for over a decade and gracing the covers of many local and international magazines has a lot of fan following. She is ever active staying connected to her fans on facebook, instagram, twitter and snapchat. 

Here are the reasons why we all love to follow her:

Facebook

She has over 276K followers on her facebook. Mehreen makes sure that her facebook is entirely different from the rest of her accounts as the medium is different. She posts about places, recent events, social happenings and her work related posts in the form of throwbacks and her latest ventures. We heart her lovely posts for their perfection. Again the best part she takes feedback from her fans seriously! :)

Snapchat

While snapchat is a relatively new phenomenon in Pakistan Mehreen proves to be one of the pioneers utilizing this medium effectively setting a trend for all the rest of the people in our fashion industry. Her snapchat is always fun to view highlighting her day activities from her work and personal life. We are a big fan of her cute daughter Aman on her snapchat acount :)

Shahnameh's Eid Campaign

Shahnameh is a menswear brand for eastern clothing which has a strong philosophy and brand ideology. There is a strong connection with the roots of sub-continent and the legacy. The clothes also pay homage to our rich culture and history.
This time again for Eid Collection Shahnameh has come up with a different line. I like the fact that Umair Jaswal is the face of campaign and it is brilliantly shot by Abdullah Haris.

Having Umair Jaswal as the face of this campaign it is a testament to the fact that Shahnameh holds true to its values. 

What I love about the shoot is the styling and the location. You can expect a lot of bright colours along with subtle tones. Waistcoat is now an essential part of wardrobe. The colours dominating this Eid are blues, beiges and white.

Trends from Shahnameh

Staright Trousers

We see the shalwar replacing the straight trousers/pajama. Another word of advice if you think you can not pull off a pajama wear your kurtas with a shalwar.

Kolhapuris and khusas equally remain in trend this Eid. 

I surely can not wait to check out this amazing collection by Shahnameh with already having 5 kurtas in my wardrobe. Another reason to love this collection its fairly priced. Check the whole range at the website and their facebook page.
